qgisprocess 0.4.0
Enhancements
- Speed up various calls to the
qgis_process
backend by
automatically implementing --skip-loading-plugins
where
possible (#201). This benefits package startup time and the timing of
qgis_run_algorithm()
, qgis_show_help()
, and
several other functions. This feature needs QGIS >= 3.36.
- Add new vignettes (#213):
vignette("qgis_arguments")
: passing R objects as
algorithm arguments.
vignette("options")
: configuration with options or
environment variables.
Minor changes
- Don’t renew the package cache when no plugins were successfully
enabled or disabled (#212).
- Update the ‘getting started’ vignette (#206, #207):
- advise to use
qgis_search_algorithms()
.
- in QGIS >= 3.36 the GRASS GIS provider is called
grass
instead of grass7
.
qgisprocess 0.3.0
Enhancements
- QGIS or third-party providers can expose deprecated algorithms that
may be removed from future versions.
{qgisprocess}
now
handles these algorithms explicitly (#198):
qgis_run_algorithm()
and other functions (such as
qgis_show_help()
and qgis_get_description()
)
will warn if a deprecated algorithm is passed (issues #193, #194).
qgis_search_algorithms()
now excludes
deprecated algorithms by default; they can still be included by setting
the include_deprecated
argument to TRUE
.
qgis_algorithms()
can optionally restrict its
results to non-deprecated algorithms (set the
include_deprecated
argument to FALSE
). By
default they are included, just as before.
- More consistent and intuitive handling of JSON input / output user
settings (#195, #196; see
?qgis_using_json_output
).
Fixes
- Fix bug in support for environment variable
R_QGISPROCESS_DETECT_NEWER_QGIS
(#197).
- Fix unit test to comply with
{terra}
> 1.7-65
(#202).
qgisprocess 0.2.0
New features
- Add vector support for
{terra}
(#184). This makes it
possible to use SpatVector
or SpatVectorProxy
objects as input arguments, and to coerce processing results to
SpatVector
or SpatVectorProxy
.
qgis_detect_windows_paths()
and
qgis_detect_macos_paths()
put paths at the top that contain
a QGIS version string and these paths are sorted according to decreasing
QGIS version (#189). This lets qgis_configure()
select the
newest QGIS version among qgis_process
file paths that have
a version string. Furthermore, a wrapper
qgis_detect_paths()
has been added that works on both
Windows and macOS (#192).
Minor changes
- Allow half-configured states with abundant messages, so that
remaining functionality can be used in debugging or even for some real
stuff (#177).
qgis_run_algorithm()
documentation gains a section on
QGIS models and scripts (8a20669).
- An option
qgisprocess.detect_newer_qgis
is available
(mirrored by environment variable
R_QGISPROCESS_DETECT_NEWER_QGIS
) for Windows and macOS
(#192). If set as TRUE
, during package loading
{qgisprocess}
will check whether a more recent (standalone)
QGIS version is also installed while the package cache still dictates to
use an older version. In this specific scenario a question will be asked
to switch to the newer version. Without setting this option default
behaviour remains in place, i.e. the user must manually intervene either
by running qgis_configure()
, by setting the
qgisprocess.path
option, or by uninstalling the older QGIS
version.
- Solve a CRAN check error on
r-oldrel-macos-x86_64
, by
adding support for {stars}
0.5-5 (#175).
qgisprocess 0.1.0
- Initial CRAN release.
- While the package incubated as a development version for a few
years, quite a few namespace changes have been made more recently
(#153). Old function names still work but these are deprecated. They
will be dropped at a later stage.
